Nicole K. Boehnen

Nicole K. Boehnen serves as a Trainee within the PBS R5 Acquisition Management Division of the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, supporting the procurement of mission-critical facility services for federal buildings nationwide. In this developmental role, she assists in the planning, solicitation, and administration of construction, renovation, and facility support contracts, gaining hands-on experience in federal acquisition processes under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Her work directly contributes to the Division’s mission of modernizing federal infrastructure through interior renovations, building systems upgrades, and operational sustainment contracts. She is being trained to handle complex, performance-based acquisitions that ensure long-term facility reliability and compliance with federal sustainability and safety standards. Boehnen works closely with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for facility improvement projects in the Washington, D.C. region. Her involvement includes supporting contract execution, performance monitoring, and compliance reviews with this vendor, fostering a collaborative relationship centered on quality delivery and timely project completion. While still in training, she is being integrated into the team’s established vendor engagement protocols, learning to manage contractor communications, deliverable tracking, and contract modification processes with a focus on accountability and regulatory adherence. Her procurement activities are currently conducted under full and open competition, with no set-asides applied to the acquisitions she supports. This reflects the Division’s operational emphasis on leveraging broad market capability for large-scale infrastructure projects. As a trainee, she is being exposed to the full spectrum of socioeconomic contracting policies but has not yet been assigned to set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. The acquisitions she supports fall within the domain of federal facility modernization, encompassing construction management, mechanical and electrical systems upgrades, and building operations services. While specific NAICS codes are not yet available in her training portfolio, her exposure is focused on the technical requirements of building systems integration, renovation contracting, and facility sustainment—core competencies essential to maintaining the federal government’s physical infrastructure.
